Both are pretty mature dramas with women dating multiple men, and both deal with infidelity in some way. Busujima has an additional theme of politics and journalism, while Fukigen focuses entirely on the romance and dynamics between the friends.

Same ML if you like Sakurada Dori, and he has just about the same persona. In Perfect Crime he's more angry, though, and the romance is dark, not sweet. The FL is the same in that she easily gives over to a physical relationship, and is a bit of a pushover in her interactions with every one else. Both are heavy on intimate scenes.

Almost an exact match, even with the rating. In both dramas, the main character has some sort of illness, both MCs also have a father wrongfully accused of murder and put on a death row, and both of them become lawyers to get the truth out and both fight corruption.

Male lead approaches female on purpose. Then they became romantically involved.
Prosecutor Princess revolves around the theme of revenge. I Wanna Hear Your Song is about uncovering the truth behind a mysterious murder.

Hirugao is the more serious, somber show about affairs, and Fukigen na Kajitsu has more romanticized affairs with a lot of intimate scenes. Both have lonely wives with disinterested husbands, as well as awkward mother-in-law relationships where the mother-in-law is too involved and doting. Both involve wives contemplating/weighing the value of an affair before it starts, but Hirugao focuses more on those affected and morals.

HPL focused on art, romance, and family with a bit of corporate politics. AIL focused on art, romance, and corporate politics with a bit of family drama.

I feel the HPL characters were almost lifted from AIL.

Male leads were painters who lived in the US, they both had to stop painting, went back to their home countries, and became gallery directors. They found their way back to painting with help from the female leads.

Female leads were art students and became curators.

Main leads shared a past, although at different times in their lives.

Second male leads were both athletes.

Second female lead (there were 2 SFLs in AIL) met the male leads in the US, and claimed to have known and supported them when they were at their worst.

While the main theme of Secret is not infidelity, both have darker romances of people falling for people they did not intend to fall for, and intense hate-to-love elements.
